JAKARTA - Members of the House of Representatives, especially the Public Aspiration Agency (BAM) and the leadership of the House of Representatives (DPR) threw at each other in response to the issue of community demonstrations on August 25 and the plan to demo workers on August 28.
Chairman of the House of Representatives' Aspiration Body (BAM) Ahmad Heryawan said it was better to ask the leadership of the House of Representatives.
"I think the leadership of the DPR answered," said Aher at the DPR building, Wednesday, August 27.
Including the matter of allowances and salary increases for the DPR, the PKS legislator was also reluctant to comment. Aher explained this to the leadership of the DPR.
"Okay, the leadership of the DPR answered," said Aher.
Whereas previously, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Cucun Ahmad Syamsurijal said representatives of the House of Representatives would accept the aspirations of the people through BAM.
Cucun emphasized that BAM is always ready to accept the public or representatives of demonstrators who wish to express their aspirations.
"Yes, it should be like that. So who wants to be the representative. Here, there is already a BAM aspiration agency, later BAM will accept it," said Cucun, Tuesday, August 26.
"Bam is standing by here. For them, they accept everything that becomes aspirations," he continued.
Meanwhile, regarding allowances, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, said that the allowance for the house of board members for one year, namely from October 2024-October 2025, is valid for five years or during DPR members for the period 2024-2029.
"Rp 50 million from October 2024 to October 2025, of which the money will be used for house contracts during the term of office of members of the DPR 5 years, namely during 2024 and until 2029," said Dasco, Tuesday, August 26.

Dasco also confirmed that in November 2025 all members of the Council would no longer receive home allowances. However, he did not elaborate further on the reasons for not getting any more benefits since that month.
"So later if my friends see the list of allowances in November 2025, there will be no more Rp 50 million. Yes, maybe yesterday's explanation was incomplete, less detailed, causing polemics in the wider community," explained Dasco.
In addition, said Dasco, in November 2025, the council members will not receive a home pay of up to Rp. 100 million a month.
"If the housing allowance has disappeared, it's not that big anymore," he said.
